Lyric

I don't understand just why we crossed each other's ways

On days I'm just a drifting soul, lost in the maze

You're a star that shines so far across the endless sky

And I'm the little dust that drifts along the ground nearby

I don't know where time will take us, which road we'll find

But still I keep on hoping that somehow you'll be mine

You never need to worry that I'll make you feel ashamed

I'll stay right where I am and watch you burn like flame

We're different as the heavens are from clay and stone

The space between us yawns, a canyon all alone

I know that what we have could never be made true

But every night my heart keeps dreaming still of you

This love of ours is out of scale, a mismatch in design

Like sunlight standing next to a tiny candle's shine

I reach across the distance but I never touch your side

You are the world entire — I'm only someone small inside

I know I should let go, set your radiance free

So why does every corner of my heart belong to thee?

I know that what we want can never come to be

And yet I whisper for a miracle to happen, quietly

This love of ours is out of scale, a mismatch in design

Like sunlight standing next to a tiny candle's shine

I reach across the distance but I never touch your side

You are the world entire — I'm only someone small inside

You are my whole wide world; I'm only part of the scene

Out of proportion — our love, a quiet in-between

Out of proportion — the way you glow and I remain

Out of proportion — and yet I call your name again
